Today, its home at Funan is a sleek, purpose-built space with an intimate, all-welcome vibe that keeps audiences feeling close to the action.
Wild Rice is known for championing original voices and reimagining classics with a cheeky, contemporary twist, with landmark productions like Hotel, Emily of Emerald Hill, and The Importance of Being Earnest.
